Suspect in bomb threats arrested
By MICHELE DRAKE and MICHAEL COATES Focus Editor
The first arrest has been made in connection with USC's bomb threats.
Glenn Byrd, freshman, has been charged with three felony counts of false bomb reports. He is free on $1,250 bail awaiting arraignment today at
10	a.m. in Division 40 of the Hall of Justice.
Sgt. R.L. Ticer and Officer R.R. Van Drew apprehended Bvrd at 7:10 a.m. Friday in his dorm room.
A call on Nov. 4 at 10:45 a.m. threatening Waite-Phillips Hall led to his arrest. The words were. “A bomb will go off at Phillips Hall." Ticer said.
Police said this threat confirmed suspicions of earlier calls. The lapse of time before the arrest was made allowed for further investigation.
Authorities attribute two other calls
to him. On Sept. 30. Byrd allegedly threatened the women's complex at 2:08 a.m. Another call evacuated Von Kleinsmid Center on Oct. 28 at 6:30 p.m.
All the calls were made from Byrd's dorm room. Ticer said.
The arrest was the result of a sophisticated electronic system installed by Pacific Telephone. This experimental device surveys all campus calls.
"With the device we may be able to eliminate this disruptive factor.” Ticer said.
The Daily Trojan learned of the arrest Monday, but police requested the story not be released until today so that further operations would not be jeopardized.
Byrd, a member of the freshman football team on a full athletic scholar ship, was in custody from 7:10 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. Marvin Goux. assistant foot-
ball coach, located a lawyer who posted Byrd's bail.
Byrd faces possible imprisonment in the state prison not to exceed three years per charge (for a felony) or imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed one year (for a misdemeanor).
Although Byrd has been charged with a felony, it is up to the court to decide whether the crime itself is a felony or a misdemeanor.
Ticer said Byrd’s initial reaction to the arrest was one of surprise at the seriousness of the crime.
The university’s disciplinary action against Byrd has not yet been settled, said Dr. Paul Bloland. vice president of student affairs. He said. “If he's guilty,
I	hope he is suspended.” He emphasized. “I hope this rash of bomb threats is stopped.”
Robert Mannes, dean of student life, commented, “Until we get an official
report from campus security, I don't know what will be done.” But he added that some disciplinary action will be taken through the dean of students office.
Football coach John McKay, who has spoken with Byrd since his arrest also believes Byrd did not realize the seriousness of the crime.
McKay said. “I think if the university does not suspend him. we would not be so terrible that we wouldn't give him a second chance. I think he deserves one.”
Criminal Conspiracy, a division of the downtown Los Angeles Police Department, is investigating other bomb threats. Sgt. D.N. Day, in charge of the special detectives, said his men will be on and off campus in the future.
Police said more than 90 calls have been made since the start of the semester.

JOHN FROINES SPEAKS TO STUDENTS Member of the Chicago Seven explains process of revolution.
Faculty passes resolution to deal with bomb threats
A step was taken yesterday by the University Senate to offset the loss of student and faculty time due to bomb threats.
A resolution suggesting procedures to be taken by faculty members was passed by the senate.
The resolution urged all faculty members to announce that all classes would be moved to another location and continue in event of a bomb scare.
When examinations are scheduled, alternate classrooms should be booked in another building, keeping the location of that room secret until the time for the test.
The resolution suggested that the names of students absent from exams should be recorded, so that if a bomb scare occurred the names could be made available to university authorities.
The desirability of planning other forms of evaluation, such as take-home exams and open-book exams which might provoke fewer phone threats, was recommended.
The senate also expressed concern over disruptions of final exams in January.
In other business, Dr. Paul Bloland, vice-president of student affairs, presented a proposed emergency procedure card prepared in cooperation with Dr. Paul Greeley, medical director of the Student Health Center.
The card, which would be placed throughout the campus, contains the telephone numbers of Campus Security, the health center and city emergency services.
The senate also voted to recommend to the administration that tuition remission be given to spouses of full-time faculty members and staff for up to four units and for faculty spouses in a degree program enrolled in more than four units of classes on a space-available basis.
It was announced that a committee had been formed to redetermine the appropriate number of student members on university committees because of previous shifts in committee size.
Froines maps out plan for Americans to end Asian war
By RIVIAN TAYLOR Associate City Editor
Describing the process of revolution as three evolutionary stages, John Froines, a member of the Chicago Seven and the New Mobilization Committee, mapped out a plan for the American people to end the Vietnam war yesterday.
Froines, speaking to about 300 people, many of them sitting on the street, in the Free Speech Area, said the talk was “one of the freakiest speeches I've ever given because basically we are liberating the streets in this phase of American history.”
Froines' proposal involved two major plans: American citizens going to Vietnam to write peace treaties and a possible shut down in Washington. D.C. if the war is not over by May 1.1971.
Froines advocated a peoples’ diplomacy as he outlined his proposal for a cessation of the Vietnam War. He said in about two weeks a series of trips will begin bringing delegations representing different groups of American people to Hanoi and Saigon. These Americans will write peace treaties with the Vietnamese people.
The first trip to South Vietnam will involve 30 university student body presidents going over to write a peace treaty and bringing it back, Froines said. A national convocation will be held at Kent State University and then copies of the treaty will be sent to campuses across the nation in

an attempt to hold a nationwide referendum to ratify the treaty.
“We re going to have our peace treaty with the Vietnamese,” said Froines. “We re sending delegations of labor people, groups of women, of high school students ... a whole series of people to write a treaty and we re going to implement it through every sector.
“We re not gonna talk about how we hate war, but we re going to make peace through the rati-facation and implementation process.”
Froines said that if the government has not promised to end the war by May 1, 1971 that “we’re going to shut down the government of the United States.”
Froines explained how students from the Universities of Massachusetts. Illinois and Tennessee will drive automobiles to Washington, D.C. and that these cars will mysteriously breakdown on the bridge leading to the Pentagon and on the highway leading to the CIA headquarters in Virginia. Froines said that the only way the people who work there will be able to go to work on those days will be to fly in by helicopter.
“Our proposal will bring millions to shut down Washington for weeks and weeks if the government doesn't act during the eight months we have given it to end the war,” he said.
“The days of protest are over. Come May 1. we give an ultimatum. I think it is necessary . . .

Campus coverage lacking
TOM BROKAW
Television newsman Tom Brokaw yesterday called for “more coverage of the activity on the college campuses” by the broadcast news media.
His talk, sponsored by Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalistic society, and Theta Sigma Phi, the professional journalism society for women, centered on the campus and the news media.
He spoke in the Student Activities Center before an estimated 125 students and faculty. Brokaw, 30-year-old anchorman for KNBC’s 11 p.m. Newservice gave his impressions of the coverage that the campuses were receiving thus far. “I'll talk of campus and the media as I see it, not as KNBC sees it,” he said.
Brokaw said that because of the nature of the television news broadcast, television presented only a general outlook of the campuses-focusing particularly on the political activity.
“There is a tremendous demand on our time,” he said. “I feel, however, that we have not been as responsive as we should be in covering campus activity. We tend to give a rather superficial view in our coverage; we must spend more time on campus.”
Brokaw said that he hoped to see more attention given to campus news other than that dealing with student unrest.
To accomplish the task, he recommended that a young person be placed on campus--a student
